Git commit 6540dbf180cc2a0a895fe6b85defc467f708e399 by Christoph Cullmann. Committed on 01/02/2020 at 20:19. Pushed by cullmann into branch 'master'. Revert "improve word completion to use highlighting to detect word boundaries" This reverts commit 8d0f6ff8014cdf32be6410efa184a968ce53525a. try to fix code completion behavior this needs more investigations, I assume the string we search for has different boundaries M +6 -7 src/completion/katewordcompletion.cpp https://commits.kde.org/ktexteditor/6540dbf180cc2a0a895fe6b85defc467f708e399 Reverted the change, the other older bug needs more investigations :/ Got the reverted fix with the Arch Linux KDE updates yesterday. Thank you very much for this. : ) |
SUMMARY Ever since the last update, auto completion no longer works for variables. It works fine when typing normal words, but not for variables. For example, if I have 3 variables anywhere in the file, named varONE, varTWO, & varTHREE, I can type "var" anywhere in the file, & the auto completion list will pop up showing the 3 variable names. However, if I type "$var", or "${var", nothing happens. The auto completion pop up does not show up. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Type any variable with the dollar ($) sign. 2. 3. OBSERVED RESULT The auto completion list does not pop up when typing any variable with the dollar sign. EXPECTED RESULT The auto completion list should pop up when typing any variable with the dollar sign.
